Unharmed Dummy Shows How a Simple Shelter Could Save a Human Life
The winsome model suffered no visible damage, even though "she" sat in the cellar of the house that all but
disintegrated (page 846). Civil Defense engineers placed 10 different types of shelters in the blast area-two basement
designs and eight buried outdoors. A manual on home shelters will sum up results of these experiments. A simple
lean-to such as this can be built by a home handyman at a cost of $40. Even in this house, placed 3,500 feet from
the atomic blast-close enough for destruction-the shelter offered good protection (pages 842 and 843).
